there is petty 1858 preponderance ON the
side of Germany. All told, the French army
exceeds that Of Germany by nearly SC, 600.
And yet the battle is not always given to the
greatest number. 1t is quite likely, it is
probable even, that Germany would whip
France again in a square, standup fight.

"Good morning" to the visitor, and ere long
the whole gathering was talking about the
value OF boxing as means of exercise. The
general took one of the gloves the professor
held out, tried it on; then took the other. nut
